The Inclusive Leadership in Football Award

The Inclusive Leadership in Football Award (TILIFA) is delivered in partnership with football’s equality and inclusion organisation, Kick It Out. Designed for existing and aspiring leaders across a range of football contexts, the course introduces learners to a range of issues related to equality, diversity, and inclusion in football.

Developed and delivered in conjunction with football’s equality and inclusion organisation, Kick It Out, The Inclusive Leadership in Football Award is a self-paced, online learning course that introduces learners to a range of issues related to equality, diversity, and inclusion in football.

Designed for existing and aspiring leaders across a range of football contexts, this five-module course introduces learners to the relationship between football and society, core concepts associated with equality, diversity, and inclusion, law and policy in the context of EDI, the problematic nature of words and behaviour, and the power of change. Based around a series of micro-lectures, tasks, and quizzes, the course gives learners the opportunity to apply their understanding in a final, tutor-assessed project.

With an alumni-base that includes, among others, learners from the Football Association, Premier League, Professional Footballers’ Association, Arsenal FC, Liverpool FC, Everton FC, Chelsea FC, Southampton FC, West Ham United FC, The Inclusive Leadership in Football Award has become an important tool in supporting the game’s stakeholders to take their equality responsibilities seriously.
